I like storylines
or a bit of role playing and quests

ya know like ruins that add to your race as well as ships tech

or like making a fleet of 30 ships that give a plus to your race happyness (oh wait thats SE4) or make the fleet blockade a warp point that no other ship can pass with out paying some kind of payment (like ships or ship tech) (or board them and take it anyways)
